<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div>Having a great time here using the notebook. I just want to tweak a couple of display details and was hoping I could get some pointers:<div><div><br></div><div>- Is there a way to do multiline equations (i.e. \begin{eqnarray}...)?</div>

</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, if you are using master it&#39;s just:</div><div><br></div><div> from IPython.core.display import *</div><div> Latex(&quot;\begin{eqnarray}...\end{eqnarray}&quot;)</div>

<div><br></div><div>In 0.12, Math will do the same thing, but we want Math to really mean &#39;single expression&#39;, so it now ensures that expressions are wrapped in &#39;$&#39;.</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div dir="ltr"><div>
<div>- I&#39;d like to make my plots bigger. Do I do that from matplotlib or the notebook?</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This is handled entirely by matplotlib. You change the size of figures just like you always have done in matplotlib:</div>

<div><br></div><div> matplotlib.rcParams[&#39;figure.figsize&#39;] = [x,y]</div><div><br></div><div>Or with the IPython helper function:</div><div><br></div><div> figsize(x,y) # in the global namespace when inline backend is in use, which does the same thing.</div>

<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>- I&#39;d like to make my subplots spread apart even wider than the squeeze=false option to the subplots command. Should I be looking at matplotlib or ipython docs to do that? I can get by with just making multiple plots instead of subplots.</div>

</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Matplotlib - changing anything about the figure appearance will always be handled by matplotlib. All IPython does is print the figure to a particular format, and send it to the frontend. Matplotlib determines (almost) everything about the contents of that image.</div>

<div>- My plots appear to be bitmaps, can I make the default SVG?</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>They are PNG by default, and you can change the figure format with the InlineBackend.figure_format configurable:</div>

from an interactive session to toggle it at runtime (you can keep changing it back and forth, if you have any reason to do this).</div><div><br></div><div>I think SVG figures behave a bit differently with respect to size in browsers, but I don&#39;t recall.</div>

<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>- Is there a way to make a plot not display in the browser? I&#39;m generating an animation that I include via HTML(), but the first frame always shows up as a plot underneath the animation frame.</div>

</div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, simply close the figure before the end of the cell, and it won&#39;t be displayed:</div><div><br></div><div> fig = gcf()</div><div> plot(x,y)</div><div> # dostuff with figure</div>
